AFTERSCHOOL ACTIVITIES -Students cannot stay unattended at
school. If they are waiting for a sport to start, they should go home
and return for a 4:30 practice. Otherwise, they need to attend Club
Cougar. Students should be registered and the fee is $5. per session or
$60. per month for sports activities only.

Tweens Secret Lives On-line-
(Parents- this was sent by our Technology Coordinator Eric Hall to our
staff, and it is very relevant to you on the home front as well) As you read this article,
consider the importance of guiding our students to become responsible
Digital Citizens. We can and do help them develop healthy habits and
attitudes around technology by providing experiences in online
collaboration (Google Docs) and communication (Blogs & wikis) with
productive outcomes. Responsible Use and Digital Citizenship are not "one time" lessons, but need to be pervasive in student technology experiences.

REMINDER - CBMS is a Distraction Free Zone. With the
temperatures rising, we wanted to clarify the dress code. Please review
the attached dress code and discuss with your students. Students will
be warned the first time, and the 2nd time we will ask them to "cover
up" with other clothing. We will contact you if it continues. DRESS CODE-Fashion trends are acceptable as long as they do not obstruct the educational process in the classroom or endanger the physical well being of students. Clothing should not distract from learning. There should be no cleavage or buttocks showing. Clothing with sexual innuendoes, drug, alcohol, or tobacco messages are not permitted.. The style for classroom wear, as opposed to leisure wear, should reflect good health and safety habits, personality and a sense of pride through appearance in self and in school. • No abdomens (stomachs, tummies) should show • No cleavage should show at any time • Wear footwear at all times • Take off hats when you are in the cafeteria • Don’t wear clothing/signs which advertises tobacco/alcohol products • Don’t wear clothing/signs which are sexually suggestive or highly inappropriate • Wear appropriate-length shorts or skirts that do not expose anything other than legs and feet.

THINK: Does the
clothing you’re wearing meet our dress code? We have created a
respectful environment here at CBMS. Please remember no DISTRACTIONS!
Thank you for your support!
